Biography
Kesegowaase was born in Wolastoqiyik territory, in what is now New Brunswick. Until his teens, he lived in a walled village surrounded by farmed fields, where he practiced hunting, fishing, and various survival skills. As European hostilities grew, Kesegowaase joined other men from his village as mercenaries helping the French Army. In 1746, he met Achilles Davenport and Liam O'Brien, who were working with the French Army on behalf of the Assassin Order. They were impressed with his prowess and determination and invited him to join the Brotherhood. In 1749, he met Shay Cormac and became one of his instructors.

In 1757, after Shay defected to the Templar Order because of Achilles' search for dangerous First Civilization artifacts, Kesegowaase took part in a plan against the British in Albany during the French and Indian War. Kesegowaase was supposed to lead an attack on the Indian village of Onatah and attack the British at Otetiani, but both attacks were thwarted; the Oneida hostages were rescued by Shay and the French army under Elisee Baschet that attacked Peter Bissey's British troops was wiped out. Kesegowaase later took part in the capture of Fort William Henry from Templar colonel George Monro, but Shay saved Monro from his ambush, and Kesegowaase was surprised that he was still alive after the Chevalier de la Verendrye shot him. When Kesegowaase attempted to kill Monro as he boarded Shay's ship Morrigan, Shay shot a powder keg thrown at him by Christopher Gist, wounding Kesegowaase's legs. A growling Kesegowaase was pulled away by his men as Shay, Monro, and Gist escaped.

On 3 November 1757, Kesegowaase launched an attack on Monro's British troops while he was at Fort Frederick in Albany with his army of Assassins as Liam O'Brien assassinated the colonel himself. Shay hurried to Albany to stop Kesegowaase, and he repelled his attack. He found him on the fort walls and slashed him across the legs with his sword before kicking him across the head, mortally wounding him. When Kesegowaase tried to kill Shay with his tomahawk, Shay slammed the tomahawk next to his neck, pinning his head to the wall with the handle. Kesegowaase told Shay that Liam had killed Monro, before dying, and Shay hurried to Monro, only to find out that Kesegowaase was right.
